TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa to stay in Thailand at a friend's condo, it is typically required to have a letter of invitation from your friend. Alternatively, you can book a refundable hotel until your visa is approved, and you can cancel later. Additionally, when arriving at your friend's condo, they will need to complete a TM30 form if you apply for an extension of stay.
